A build up of dead skin can clog your pores and hair follicles, which can not only cause pimples but also block your skincare products from penetrating the skin, which is why exfoliation is essential for maintaining an even, healthy glow.
But, if you already have an existing breakout, you will need to wait until it clears up.
Hair found on the face is known as vellus hair, rather than the dark, thick terminal hair that grows elsewhere.
Shaving does not in any way cause vellus hair follicles to transform into terminal hair follicles.
It helps get rid of excess oils, bacteria and all the dead skin cells gathered on your face.
During Dermaplaning an extremely fine, surgical-grade blade is used to gently exfoliate the epidermis and is held at a 45-degree angle. It's gently brushed along the surface of the skin to remove thin layers of excess skin cells and fine hairs.
Dermaplaning won't cause any itchy shaving rashes, irritation or more breakouts.
If you need to wear makeup, you can, but your skin barrier is more open and may become irritated.
Once your skin has had time to settle (24 hours), proceed with your make-up as normal.
But you won't feel any discomfort, and your skin will never be pierced.
